Watch NY Jets Fumble Pronunciation Of NJ Town’s Name

The Police Athletic League of Parsippany is headed to a NY Jets game soon, and tickets are still available.

PARSIPPANY, NJ — The Police Athletic League of Parsippany (PAL) has a special New York Jets outing coming up, and ahead of the game, they’ve shared a video of the New York Jets attempting to pronounce their apparent mouthful of a township.

The attempt to pronounce Parsnip-, Parisip-, (excuse me,) Parsippany came easily to some players; however, others struggled before scoring.
